Last month, it was Backify, this time it is BackZup. Will BackZup be in business in a couple months? It looks like that, BackZup is also an Idrive reseller as the press release says, “Leading companies like Livedrive, Backblaze and Mozy.com have gained a huge share of the market”.

Why is Livedrive referred as a leading company, when most of the reviews about this company are not positive?

Is BackZup a “fly-by-night operation” as Backify was? Backify is dead in a month. Now comes this BackZup with a similar model – 512Gb of free space. Is this to get a quick exposure? Watch out, it might backfire!

BackZup “is backed by a 500,000 dollar funding that was raised earlier this year”. Funny that they failed to mention which angel investor actually invested in their company.

I think after the Backify desaster it is rather bad timing to get out another Livedrive backup service. Especially when offering such prices for online storage that seem super competitive if not unrealistic.

I think it’s going to be very hard for Backzup.com to build authority and credibility after this PR desaster.
